[Palliser.]
1700 to 1835. Aghada, Corkbeg, Inch, Rostellan, and Titeskin,
were held as the union of Aghada, in commendam with the
Bishoprick of Cloyne, until the death of Bishop Brinkley, on
14th September, 1835.
The following account of the manner in which Aghada was
granted to the Bishops of Cloyne, is taken from the manuscripts
of Bishop Bennet :—
▲GHADA. [OLOTKB.
" The revenues of the bishoprick appear to have been at a
yery low ebb in 1698, soon after the succession of Bp. Pooley
to the see. The long lease of sixty years awarded by Bram-
liall to the Fitzgerald &mily was not yet expired ; and, indeed,
the time of its expiring was a subject of dread rather than
hope, as bringing the certainty of a suit at law along with it.
Lord Inchiqnin claimed to hold the best farms on that estate,
not under that lease, but in his own right, as heir to the Fitz-
geralds. The fine estate of Ealmaclenin, with those of Inchi-
quin, Eilvagh, and Chor Abbey, were entirely lost, and that of
iBallybane, tho' the right of the see to it had been often allowed,
was in a hopeless state. The markets, mill, and other rights
of the manor were a daily subject of dispute. And, to com-
plete the whole, all hopes of Donoghmore were just extinguished
by the determination of the Commissioners against the claim
of the church. The whole estate of the bishoprick, both
spiritual and temporal, produced no more than £500 per an. ;
and with this expensive law suits were to be maintained
against Lord Inchiquin, Sir St. John Broderick, Colonel Corker,
of Ballymaloe, and others, some of which suits had been run-
ning on for near thirty years.
" Under these circumstances Bishop Pooley, who was always
attentive to the interests of his see, was encouraged to petition
the £arl of Rochester, then Lord Lieutenant, stating that Cloyne
was the worst endowed of all the Irish Bishopricks, so that
before 1641, the Wardenship of Toughal had been added to it
to make up for its deficiency of revenue ; that since that period
the see had been deprived of some very considerable estates -
that in parallel cases in the English Church it was uaxisA to
permit a Bishop to hold in commendam some other fit ecclesi-
astical preferment ; and that the union of Aghada which was
adjoining and convenient to the Bishop's place of residence,
being now vacant by the death of Mr. John Mascall, and in
the sole gift of the Bishop himself, he humbly prayed his Ma-
jesty to sdlow the said union of Aghada to be held in commen-
dam with the bishoprick of Cloyne, as it might seem good to
hiB royal pleasure. This petition of the Bishop was granted,
and he became B.ector of the union of Aghada, consisting of the
rectories and vicarages of Aghada, Corkbeg, Rostillan, Tites-
kin, and Inch, which has now gone with the see for upwards
of 100 years.
" By the judicious improvement of this fortunate opportunity,
Bp. Pooley laid the foundation of an increasing revenue to the
Bishops of Cloyne, which has made more than amends for all
the estates they have lost. The commodious situation of the
union, which includes almost the whole peninsula between
Cloyne and the sea, and the rise from the increase of tillage
in all the livings in the south of Ireland, has made it produc-

tire liejond any idea thai could have been formed at the time.
In 1700, when first held with the see, it was worth about £400
per annum ; in the time of Bp. Agar, 1767, it rose to £800 ;
in 1793 Bp. Woodward had increased it to £1,100 ; Bp. Bennet,
in 1801, made of it full £2,000 ; and ten or twelve years after
it was valued by the Proctor at £3,400.'*

is to be built in a more convenient place, at Aghada, in Gloyne.
[Acts of Parliament.]
1774. The Bishop holds also in commendam the union of
Aghadda, value £600 per an., consisting of the following
parishes, viz., the rec. and vie. of Corkbeg, the rec and vie. of
Aghadda, the rec and vie of Inch, otherwise Ninch ; the rec.
and vie. of Rostillian, and the rec. and vie. of Titeskin. Ag-
hadda Church is in repair ; the other churches are in ruins.

The Rect of Rostillian was formerly part of the possessions of
the preceptory of Moume, and is chargeable with 15«. per an.

the Ministers and Churchwardens of Aghadda, and their suc-
cessors, for ever, an annuity of £10, to be paid yearly, at
Christmas, unto the Curate of said parish, in trust, for five
of the poorest blind and maimed objects who shall reside near
to my present place of residence." In March, 1794, £120
(12 years arrears of this annuity) were paid by the executor,
Mr. Wallis Adams, of Kilbre. Besides the ten pounds, nine
pounds annual interest on savings were subsequently distri-
buted each year to ten instead of five poor persons near the
estate, who were generally chosen by the owners of the
property.

Officers, misled by the circumstance of its having been so long
held with the bishoprick, and regularly granted to the new
bishop at every vacancy, were much inclined to consider it as
a Grown Hying. But on my copying out the parts of Bp.
Pooley*s memorial to Lord Rochester as above quoted, and re-
ferring to the Privy Gouncil Books for the original, they im-
mediately gave up the question. Such is the advantage of
having a book of this sort to apply to upon occasion." [Bishop

Atkin Hayman (fifth son of Samuel Hayman, esq., of The
College, Youghal, by Elisabeth, eldest dau. and co-heiress of
Richard Paradise, esq., a French Protestant refugee) was bom
at Youghal, on 11th June, 1714, and entered T.C.D. as a
Pensioner on 6th July, 1733, and graduated in 1738.
He was ordained Deacon, on 2l8t December, 1740, and Priest,
on 15th March, 1741, by Bishop Berkeley, at Cloyne. On 22nd
December, 1741, he was licensed to the curacy of Middleton,
which he held until 1753. From 1753 to 1764, he was Curate
of Youghal. In 1754 he was appointed Chaplain to the Earl
of Hillsborough. From 1759 to 1764, he was R. V. Carrigro-
hanebeg, and from 1764 to his death, on 13th April, 1793, was
V. Ballyclogh and Castlemagner.
He married, firstly, in June, 1742, his cousin, Elisabeth,
youngest dau. of Rev. Walter Atkin (Treasurer of Cloyne, q. v.);
and by her (who was buried in the Atkin family vault, at
Middleton, on 30th January, 1756,) had issue &Ye ^ons and
three daughters. Three of the sons died infants, and one (the
third eldest, Walter Atkins Hayman) died without legitimate
issue. All the daughters died unmarried. Samuel, his fourth
son, succeeded to the family inheritance, much diminished by
the alienation of the greater part thereof to the illegitimate
issue of his brother Walter. Samuel was bom in 1753, and in
1779 took out a diploma at Edinburgh as a Physician. He
married, in 1782, Melian, dau. and co-heiress of Matthew Jones,
esq.. Collector, of Youghal, and by her had issue, inter alios,
a son, Matthew Hayman, heir to his father, who was bom in
1789, and married, in 1816, Helen, second dau. of Arundel
Hill, esq., of Doneraile. By this marriage Matthew Hayman
had issue, inter alios, an eldest son, Samuel Hayman, now
Rector of Ardnegihy, Cork, q. v.

The family of Hayman, Hejman, or Aymon (as the name is
spelled in the well-Kuown early French romance — *' ffistoire
dea quaJtre JUs Ayrrums^ tres- Nobles et tres-vaillans Chevaliers**)
is of undoubted antiquity. Sir B. Burke, in bis Landed Gentry
(article Hatman, of Youghal) gives the £amily a Norman origin,
and describes their genealogical roll as embracing a period of
more than nine centuries. He traces them downwards, gene-
ration after generation, from the year 931 to the present time.
Deeds, wills, and family letters, from the reign of Charles L,
are in the muniment chest of Rev. Samuel Hayman, the repre-
sentative of the Irish branch, who is sixth in descent from
George Heyman, or Hayman, of Minehead, Somersetshire, who
migrated to Ireland in 1629. George Heyman was grandson
of Robert or Roger Heyman, who, to avoid religious persecu-
tion in Queen Mary's reign, fled from Kent, and found refuge
in the west of England, where numerous lines, owing their
origin to him, may yet be found. A baronetcy of the creation,
12th August, 1641, existed in the parent house, in Kent, until
20th Nov., 1808, when the Rev. Sib Hbnbt Fix Hetman, the
fifth baronet, expired without issue male. (Vide Burke's
Extinct BaronetcifS, article Hetman of Somebfibld )
The Rev. Atkin Hayman left numerous sermons in manu-
script, and an account of the Diocese of Oloyne in 1762, which
are in the possession of Rev. Samuel Hayman, of Ardnegihy.

Rev. Thomas Spratt, of Stratton, on the Yosse, county Somerset,
by his wife, Elisabeth, dau. of Rev. Robert Cooke, Minister of
the Island of ? Kerry.
Devereux was the first of his family who came to Ireland.
He held the parishes of Membury and W^ithecombe, Exon, in
Devonshire. In 1640 he came to Ireland, and was, from 1641
. to 1664, Chancellor of Ardfert; and from 1661 to 1663, P.
Brigowne. He was also Rector of Tipperary and Galbally,
and from i 676 to 1685 was P. Lattin, Emly. He was also R.
Kilgobbin, and V. Stradbally, Ardfert, and Aghadoe. In the
rebellion of 1641 he lost property to the amount of X237, and
the income of his church livings, worth £100 per an. Vide the
MSS. T.C.D. F. 2. 21.
He died in 1685.
He married, in 1660, Palgrave Cubitt, of Tipperary; and had
issue by her (besides a daughter, Margaret, wife of John Love,
esq., of Castlesaffron, county Cork) several sons, all of whom
died childless, except Devereux, who was born at the &mily
residence, Torbay, near Mitchelstown, on 30th May, 1670, and

Urbo miirri^ in 1698, Martha Bond, of Glanore, and had bj her
inter alios two sons, William, V. Oastlelyons, q. v., and Harnier.
Harmer Spratt was of Lisnagourneen, near Kildorrery, and
married, in 1742, Catherine Nash of Farrihy, and had issue
two sons, James and Harmer, and a daughter, Margaret. Of
these, Harmer, the second son, alone married. He was of
Ballybeg, and married, in 1778, Martha or Mary Foot, of
Springfort, Buttevant. By her he had two sons, Harmer
(died unm,), and Thomas-Edward ; and two daughters, who
died unm. The second son, Thomas -Edward, hy his wife
Barbara, dan. of Lieut.-CoL Foott, of Milfort, had issue (besides
a second son, Richard, who married his cousin, Eliza-Louisa,
dau. of Hennr Baldwin Foott, esq.^ of Carrigacunna Castle) an
eldest son, Harmer Deverbux Spratt, esq.^ now of Pencil Hill,
near Mallow, who married Eliza-Louisa, dau. of the late Edward
Townsend Warren, esq., by Penelope, dau. of the late Rev.
B. M. Carleton, R. V. Carrigrohanebeg, q. v.
The estates of Ballinaburna and Ballinrush, in the county of
Wexford, and Torbehy, or Torbay, and Ballybeg, near Mitchels-
town, were possessed by royal patent by Devereux Spratt in
1641, and were alienated or lost by his descendants.

S. Alford graduated a.b., T.C.D., in 1663, and a.m. in 1667.
In 1663 he became P. Brigowne, &c. ; in 1667, V. Ballyloughy
and LiscarroU, aud Curate of Doneraile, Cahirduggan, j&llebeg,
Rossdouke, and Ros3agh ; in 1669, V. Bregoge and Eilbrowiiey.
All these livings and curacies he held until his death, which
took place early in the year 1670.
Mr. Alford's will, made probably shortly before his death,
was lost by his executor; but a draft of it was attested on 6th
June, 1670, and proved 17th June, same year. By this will
Alford seems to have had no issue, if he had ever married ; for
he leaves legacies to servants, and the remainder of his bills,
books, and miscellaneous effects to all his brothers and sisters
in England who may prove their claims, in equal portions.
This will is the earliest of those made by clergymen which
remain in Cork registry. [D.R.] He was probably a member
of the Alford family in Somersetshire. I find a Lancelot Alford
was appointed Clerk of the Hanaper in Ireland, on 5th Nov.,
1560, and Surveyor-General, in 1572. He died in 1591.

T. Wilcox waa from 1669 to 1671 P. Inniscana and P.
Liscleryy Cork. From 1671 to his death in 1681 he was P.
Brigowne, <bc. He left Walter Wilcox his executor; and I think
that he was the eldest son of Nicholas Wilcox, of Dublin, who,
by his wife, Joyce, whose will was dated in 1664, had two sons,
lliomas and Walter, and a daughter, Sarah. There was another
Thomas, eldest son of Thomas Wilcox, of Dublin, who in 1660
entered T.C.D. at the age of twelve.

the usual oath as P. Brigowne on 15th Nov. 1716. He was
again collated to these benefices on 30th June, 1721, when he
received, in addition, the vicarages of Litter, Derryvillane, and

long been reduced to a level with the ground. On digging some
feet below the surface, it appeared evidently to rest on a square
foundation, in one of the angles of which was built up the frag-

proved 21st Oct. 1639,] by his wife, Elisabeth, dau. of John
Rantoq)S, of Lyenborgh, in Germany, a son, Peter, who was,

of his father*s effects was granted on 7th Nov. 1699), a son,

Arthur Champagne was a descendant of the ancient family of
De Robillard, of Saintonge, in France. His more immediate
ancestor was the Chevalier Josias de Robillard, Seigneur de
Champagne, in the parish of Torc^, in Saintonge, who left that
place at the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and became a
Captain in Scravenmore's dragoons. He was deputed by the
Huguenot officers of William's army to represent their suffer-
ings and privations to government, and for that purpose re-
mained in London after the departure of his companions for
Ireland. The efforts he made to come up with his regiment,
and the fatigue he underwent, brought on so severe an illness,
that he died in Belfast, in October, 1688. He took the name of
Champagne instead of de Robillard, according to the practice
of all refugees of landed property, who adopted generally their
territorial designation in place of the patronymic.
His wife was Marie de la Roohefoucauld, a daughter of that
great ducal house, and her genealogy can be traced in an unbroken
line from " vir illustrissimus et potentissimus Fulcandus de
Castro qui rocatur Rocha,** otherwise "de Rupe Fulcandus," of
the 11th century. By this lady, who was buried at Portar-
lington, the Chevalier had issue two sons, Josias and Augustus;
and a daughter, Susanne, wife of the Baron Tonnay-boutonne
et de St. Surin, and mother by him, of Henri Auguste, Baron
de la Motte Fouque, the celebrated Prussian General under
Frederick the Great, grandfather of Baron de la Motte Fouque,
the distinguished German writer of romance.
The Chevalier's eldest son, Josias, accompanied his parent in
his exile, and was Ensign in La Mcllionier's regiment at the
Buyne when but seventeen years old, where ho so distin-

gnished himself that he was appoiDted Aide-de-camp to the
Lord Lieatenant, and afterwards attained the rank of Major in
the army. This Major Josias Champagne married Jane, the
eldest daughter of Arthur Forhes, second Earl of Oranard, and
had issue by her an only son, Arthur Champagne (bom 1714,
died 1800) who was in holy orders, and held, among other
church pr^erments, the deanery of Clonmacnoise.
Dean Arthur Champagne married Marianne, dau. of Major
(afterwards Colonel) Isaac Hamon, and by her, who was buried
at Mallow, county Cork, on 22nd August, 1784, had issue
four sons : — 1. Arthur, in holy orders, P. Monnehonnock, St.
Patrick's, Dublin, and R. Cloncah, Derry. He married, in
May, 1788, Mary, dau. of Rev. Philip Homan, of Siroch, county
Westmeath, and died in 1791, leaving an elder son, Arthur,
y. Castlelyons, and a posthumous ehild, Forbes; 2. George,
Canon of Windsor, and Rector of Twickenham ; 3. Forbes, a
Brigadier-General ; 4. General Sir Josias, who married Dorcas,
sister of Rev. Thomas Brownri gg, of Rathdowny, county Wick-
low, and Ballydaniel, county Wexford, and relict of White,
esq. Sir Josias left an only child, Artliur, of 55, Harley-street,
Cavendish-square, London. Dean Champagne had also six
daughters : — 1. Jane, CouifTESS of Uxbbidoe ; 2. Henrietta,
wife of Sir Frasmvs Dixon Borrgwes, Baronet ; 3. Marianne,
wife of Sir Charles Des YiEux, Bart. ; 4. Charlotte, wife
of Colonel William Armstrong. 5. Deborah, wife of Rev.
Samuel Close, of Elm Park, county Armagh ; 6. Letitia, wife
of George Stepney, esq., of Durrow, King's county; and after
his death wife of Edward Skeffington Smyth, esq., of Mount
Harry, Queen's county.
The Vicar of Castlelyons had been P. C. of Durrow, Meath,
before he accepted Castlelyons. He was presented to Durrow
by his cousin. Colonel Stepney. He resigned Castlelyons in
1830, and resided afterwards in the county Limerick. Having
succeeded to the estates of his uncles, George and Forbes, and
of his brother, Forbes, he died, unmarried, in Dublin, on 2nd
Nov., 1862.

1709. " Besides an English school for the education of poor
children in the Protestant religion, there is a public free school,
which is an elegant bailding, composed of one main structure
and two returns, over which was lately a han<Is()me dome.
This school was founded, anno 1709, by the Lady Elizabeth .
Villiers. She was eldest daughter of Sir Edward Vifliers, father
of Edward, Earl of Jersey, and Maid of Honour to Queen Mary
when Princess of Orange; and in 1695 was married to the
Lord George Hamilton, third son of William, Duke of Hamil-
ton, afterwards created Earl of Orkney. She expended a con-
siderable sum of money in building this house, and settled a
good estate on this endowment for the support of a master,
two ubhers' assistants, a writing-master ; and £50 a-ycar for
scholars entered from this school into the University of Dub-
lin."
"She reserved for herself a power to make rules for the
governing this school. The governors first appointed by the
charter were the Earls of Orkney and Inchiquin, Thomas Brod-
rick, Alan Brodrick, and Samuel Maynard, esqrs. ; Lieutenant
Peter Bettesworth, and their respective heirs, together with the
Bishop of Cork, and the Sovereign of Middleton. They nomi-
nate the master, who has £100 a-year salary ; an usher, who
has £20 per annum ; and a writing-master, £20 per annum.
There is £10 per annum for repairs of the house ; with the
sum of £50 to be distributed in exhibitions to scholars (of this
house) in Dublin College, as the majority of the governors shall
direct, provided that not more than £15 be paid to one person ;
and if such scholars are not to be had, this money is to go to
such charitable uses as the governors shall direct. The estate
bequeathed to this school are the lands of Ballynehortig, Bally-
nerequine, Ballynameuile, Ballynudagha, G4 acres of Tullagh
loane, lying in the barony of Kinalea and Kerricurihy, and all
the lands leased by the late King James to Sir Richard Mead,
at the rent of £100 per annum ; the lands of Ballysabeg and
Kilgoban, in the barony of Carbery, containing 33 1 dcres ; and
all other lands in the said barony formerly set to William
North, esq., by the late King James, at £100 per an.** [Smith's

he commenced in the following terms : — " Being obliged to leave
Waterford in a hurry, in order to let my tythes at Fermoy," Ac.

pounds to wage legal war with the Lord Bishop of Limerick, if
be won't restore a glebe of 72 acres on demand, having made a
lease of it, as 1 was entitled to do, for 21 years."
He died on the road-side in the coarse of one of his length-
ened pedestrian excursions ; and his strong box, or iron chest,
was broken open by some parties who had it in trust, and who
thus cut off all means of recovering a great part of his wealth,
which was supposed to be in the funds under a feigned name.

the crown livings of Eenmare, Eilgarvan, Templenoe, Eil-
croghan, and Cahirciveen. He was appointed to the commission
of the peace for the county Eerry on 15th May, 1679. Vide

uary, 1779.
1768. The following inscription is now (1863) visible on a
flat stone over a vault, near the entrance of the old churchyard
of Clonfert : ** Johannes Creagh obiit 8^ die martis anno Dom.
1768. ^tatis 92.
Hie veneranda pii requiescant ossa Parentis,
Dum tuba prolifico reuovatum pulvere corpus
Evocet ad sedes, sic fas sperare, beatas.

John Creagh, whose death was thus recorded, was a member
of an ancient Irish &mily, which was settled iu Cork- so early
as the time of Edward 111., and continued for two centuries to
form intermarriages with the leading merchants, and to attain
power and wealth. In 1644, however, when the other ancient
Irish inhabitants were expelled Cork, William Creagh, with his
son, John, left that city.
John settled near Newmarket, and was buried in Clonfert
churchyard ; and left an eldest son, John Creagh, of Killowen,
near Newmarket, who died as above is mentioned.
He left a numerous family, and his descendants still possess
the lands of Killowen, in Clonfert parish.

1774. Oct. 16. John Philpot Curran, esq., and Sarah Creagh,
both of this parish, were married, by licence, by the Curate,
Henry Weston, in presence of Richard Odell and Jeremiah
Keller. [Par. Reg.J The celebrated Curran, whose memory
is still affectionately remembered in the land of his birth, was
born on or about 24th of July or August, 1751, in a bouse
which has long been removed, which stood to the west of the
present (1863) court-house in Newmarket His father, James
Curran, was probably from the north of Ireland, and held the
office of Seneschal of the Manor of Newmarket under the Aid-
worth family. His mother was of gentle blood, being a de-
scendant of Henry Philpot, of Feversham, in Kent, whose
grandson, John Philpot, of Feversham, had, inter alios (besides
Sir John Philpot, Judge of the Common Pleas), a son, Nicholas

132 CLONFERT. [CLOYNE.
Philpot, wbo, by his wife, Anne (dau. of William, and sister of
Sir Richard Aldworth, of Newmarket), had two sons, John and
Gregory. John the last named was grandfather to William
Philpot, of Dromagh, whose estates passed by marriage to his
great grandson, Nicholas Philpot Leader, esq., whose son, N. P.
Leader, is now (1863) m.p. for Cork county. Gregory (the
other son of Nicholas Philpot and Anne Aldworth), by his
w:ife, Bridgett, dau. of John Evatt, Dean of Elphin, had issue
two sons, Michael (P. Dromdaleague, Cork, q. v.) ; and Laur-
ence, who married Sarah, dau. of Hugh Wigtou, of Raphoe,
and had issue Sarah, wife of James Curran, and mother of
John-Philpot and Laurence Curran. Mr. Boyse, or Boyce, the
Vicar of Clonfert, of. whose charijbable disposition there are
some traces in the old books of the parish, perceived and fos-
tered the germs of genius in the youthful Curran. He taught
him Greek and Latin, and sent him at his own charges to Mid-
dleton school, from whence Curran entered T.C.D. as Sizar, in
1769, and became a Scholar in 17?0. It is not within the
scope of this work to give a biography of Curran. His life has
been already more than once written ; and it will be enough
here to record the issue of the marriage which he, unhappily for
himself, formed as above in 1774. On 29th May, 1776, Richard-
Creagh, son of John and Sarah Curran, was baptized. On 22nd
Sept. 1777, Sarah-Gertrude; on 2nd January, 1779, Emily-
Maria; on 23rd Dec. 1779, Eliza-Odella ; on 19th January,
1784, John; and on 31st January, 1787, James, children of
John and Sarah Creagh, were baptized at Newmarket. Another
daughter, Gertrude, born in 1780^ died on 6th October, 1792,
and was buried at the Priory, Rathfarnham. One of his
daughters, Sarah, the betrothed of Emmett, and wife of Mr.
Sturgeon, lies buried in Newmarket. Only a rough stone
marks the spot. (Fwfe supra, vol. i. p. 53.) Another daugh-
ter, Eliza, I suppose, was wife to an English clergyman, Mr.
Taylor ; and another daughter, Amelia, resided at Clifton, near
Bristol, for some time.
J. P. Curran died at nine o'clock on the evening of 14th
Oct. 1817, at his house, Amelia-place, Brompton, Middlesex,
London. His funeral, which took place on 4th November,
was private, the hour being communicated only to the mourn-
ers. Between twelve and one the procession left Upper Gros-
venor-street, where the body had been deposited the night
before. There were but three mourning and three private car-
riages. Mr. Curran, barrister. Captain Curran, and Mrs. Tay-
lor, his children, and Mr. Thomas Moore, Mr. Godwin, and Mr,
Charles Philips, attended. The body was deposited in a vault
at Paddington, and was twenty years afterwards removed to
Glasnevin. In the parish church of Clifton, on the south wall,
under a female figure, mourning, is the following inscription : —

This entry was after December, 1776, and before January,

trace this legacy further, until the year 1806, when the vestry
acknowledge the receipt of '*£! 10^., interest of £50, the
bequest of Richard Aldworth, esq., paid by the representatives
of William Connell." After some time the payment of the in-
terest of this £50 ceased« nor was it recovered until the year
1S62, when the principal and interest were paid through the
medium of the Incumbered Estates Court to the Commissioners
of Charitable Donations and Bequests. It is now called the
Connell Bequest by the Charity Commissioners, although it has
been pointed out to them that Connell borrowedy not bequeathed
the money.

His will was proved in Dublin, in 1761, and in it he men-
tions a sister, Anne, wife of Thomas Gibbings, esq., of Gib-
bings-grove, county Cork. He was married, and his relict and

Mr. Cox, a clergyman, son to the late Dr. Cox, near Drogheda,
who, 1 understand, is under the patronage of Dr. Coghill.
Pray inform yourself of his character ; whether he be a good
man, one of parts and learning, and how he is provided for.
I should be glad to be apprized of his character. No one has
recommended him to me ; but his father was an ingenious
man ; and I saw two sensible women, his sisters, at Rhode
Island, which inclines me to think him a man of merit ; and
such only I would prefer." [Berkeley's WorkaJ

is the following entry made in the chapter books : — *^ Whereas
the Bishop has collated William Vayle one of the Vicars Choral,
yet, notwithstanding it is evident that he cannot enjoy the same
by that collation. However, in consequence of a reference by
word of mouth from Thomas, Lord Abp. of Cashel, at his trien-
nial visitation, held at Cloyne this day, directed to us, the
Dean and Chapter, to consider of an expedient that neither the
organ be destitute of an organist, nor the present organist, the
said William Vayle, of a com}>etent maintenance, we humbly
request and represent that it is convenient that the said William
Vayle shall continue to enjoy the one moiety of the profits of
the 4 vicarages belonging to the 4 Vicars Choral, provided he
keep in repair the organ, and at his own cost find one to blow
the bellows." Vayle, on March 3, 1721, resigned the vicarage

which time it was agreed that Considine should enjoy Fitz-
symons' vicarage during the incumbency of Fitzsymons, paying
to Fitzsymons £15 yearly. And that when Fitzsymons shall
have other preferment, Considine shall pay him £12 yearly,

Extract from a letter of Bp. Berkeley, dated Cloyne, Feb. 2,
1749: ** Our round tower stands where it did, but the little stone
arched vault on the top was cracked. The bell also was thrown
down, and broke its way through three boarded stories, but
remains entire. The door was shivered into many very small
pieces, and dispersed^and there was astone forced out of the waU.
The thunder clap was the loudest 1 ever heard in Ireland.**
The following is a more particular account of this accident :
'^ A storm of lightning, with thunder, on the night of January
10, 1749, passed through the country in a line from W. to E.,
and after killing some cows in a field S. of Cork, struck the
round tower of Cloyne. It first rent the vaulted arch at the
top, threw down the great bell, together with three galleries,
and descending perpendicularly to the lowest floor, forced its
way with a violent explosion through one side of the tower,
and drove some of the stones, which were admirably well
jointed, through the roof of a neighbouring stable. The door,
though secured by a strong iron lock, was thrown to the dis«
tance of sixty yards, and quite shattered to pieces. A few
pigeons that used to roost on the top of the steeple were
scorched to death, not a feather of them being left unsinged.
With the same bad taste which distinguishes all the works of
architecture of this era, the vaulted stone roof of the tower was
never repaired, but the height was lowered more than 6 feet,
and a vile battlement, in imitation of the worst English churches,
substituted in its stead.'* [Bishop Bennet.]

The following account of Cloyne, of the date 1813, or a little
later, is taken from the manuscripts of Bishop Beunet : —
Cathedral, Town, and Environs.
"Smith (in his History of Cork, vol. i., p. 135,) has repre-
sented the state of the Cathedral in his time, and given a list
of the inscriptions on the tombs. It is a respectable building
with a handsome nave and transept, and a small choir, all kept
in better order than is usual in the ancient Irish churches, ny
the style of the building I should suppose it not older than
1250. It has no mouldings of the zig-zag, nailhead, or billeted
kind, nor round arched windows, which distinguish what is
called the Saxon or rather Norman architecture, before the in-
troduction of the Gothic, temp. Henry III., and which appears,
for instance, in Cormac*s Chapel, at Cashel; nor, on the other
hand, has it the splendid arch or oak-leaved ornamentation so
common towards the middle of the reign of Edward L I
should, therefore, fix the era of its erection to the latter years
of the first of these princes, or the beginning of the reign of the
last. The windows, though since altered, were evidently lancet-
shaped, as was common in the time of Hemy III. See the
YOL. II. M 2
164 CLOTKE (vicars choral). [clotkb.
great west wiDdow and that of the south transept, the latter
on the outside, which is an additional reason for the date I have
chosen, as is also the circumstance that about this time three
Prelates out of four were from England, where monastic and
cathedral architecture were in high estimation. The Bishops
Johnson and Woodward are buried in this cathedral. In erect-
ing the present cross wall, at the entrance to the choir, which
was done by Bishop Agar, 1776, as the workmen dug deep in
the nave to lay the foundation, they discovered a row of graves
of rather singular construction, consisting of brick cells, ex-
actly suited to the size and shape of the body contained in each,
and what is curious enough, one of them ended at the shoul-
ders, nor were any of the bones of the skull to be found with
the body. It is, therefore, not improbable that the head of the
owner may have been fixed on Cork gates in the times of tur-
bulence, as they appear, in the print given us of that city in
Pacata Uibemia, to be full of such kind of trophies.
" The round tower, situated near the west door of the cathe-
dral, is in excellent preservation. The dimensions of it are as
follows : — Height, 92 feet ; circumference, 50 ; thickness of
walls, 3 feet 8 inches; height of door from ground, 13 feet.
It has stones projecting on the first story for the joists of a
floor to rest on. Windows seem to have lighted different
stories, and at the top were four in number, as is invariably the
case. The summit, however, has been absurdly altered, pro-
bably after it was struck by lightning in 1749, into the shape
of battlements, instead of being closed at top as usual. The
stones of which the tower is formed have been chiefly brought
from the sea-shore, though about half way up the building the
stones themselves, as well as the mode of placing them, undergo
an evident alteration. Within the tower hangs the single
bell belonging to the church, presented by Dean Bavies. The
steps to the door are also modern, like the battlements, for these
round towers (whatever may have been their use), were always
entered by a rope or ladder.
" In the eastern part of the church-yard, which is large and
well planted, still remain the ruins of a small stone edifice
(standing east and west, 30 feet long and 19 in breadth),
known by the name of St. Colman's Cliapel, and probably one
of those oratories or early churches still to be seen at Eillaloe
or St. Donat's, treated of by Ledwich in his Antiquities.
"The town of Cloyne is situated on a small limestone emin-
ence, gently rising in the midst of the valley, through which
I suppose Cork harbour to have once communicated with the
sea, and this eminence, therefore, was once an island sur-
rounded with water; afterwards, on the water partially drying
up, by a deep bog; and at present, by rich and in general well
improved m^Bwlows, to which the plantations about the church

and see house, with the round tower appearing everywhere
above them, give a good effect. On this spot, when in its first
or second state of transition (and in either it was a place of
considerable security), St Colman before the year 600, is sup-
posed to have founded his church, and the security of it must
have received no small addition from the circumstance of a
cave, which is on the most elevated part of it, extending in
various branches underground to a great distance. In tliose
unsettled and barbarous ages, caves of this sort were resorted to
by the natives on the first appearance of an enemy, and the
invaders seldom being able to make a long stay, the wives and
children of the tenants, and perhaps even their cattle, would
remain in tolerable safety till the country could collect in their
defence. It is certain that places of refuge of this sort were
looked upon as of so much necessity, that in some of the Heb-
rides we find artificial caves constructed for this purpose, and
where nature had provided one so deep and roomy a^ this, the
rude inhabitants of the time would as naturally graze their
flocks and build their huts in its neighbourhood, as in later
days they raised their cottages under the shelter of a Norman
castle. This idea, also, will receive confirmation from the name
of the town, Cluaine, signifying a cave in the Irish language.
** The cave is now in the field called the Rock-meadow, form-
ing part of the Bishop's demesne, a little east of his garden
wall, and they having been long neglected, and the drains from
it choked up, it is generally full of water in winter, yet there
is a large arched passage, running some hundred yards, leading
to another mouth in the shrubbery north of it A third but
smaller opening is also visible in the high ground above the
pond, a fourth near the road to the commons, and these or
similar entrances being known to the first inhabitants, gave the
Irish name to the whole of this land (which since the enclosure
is preserved in the small field joining it) of Nonelus Ry, or the
field of the caverns.
*'' That such caves were used in Ireland for the purpose of
security, appears from the Iceland Annals. [See ' Antiq. :
Celts and Scandinav.* page 14.]
" * Leifr went on piracy to the west, and infested Ireland with
his arms. He there discovered large subterraneous caves, the
entrances of which were dark and dismal ; but on entering they
saw the glittering of the swords which the men held in their
hands. The men they slew, and brought the swords, with much
riches, away.'
<< Thus I conjecture Cloyne to have been originally inhabited
in the earliest times, in consequence of the security afforded by
its caves, and to have increased in fame after GOO, from the
veneration paid to its saint, the round tower certainly affording
a mark of its importance in the year 900, or at least long
166 CLOTHE (VICABS CHORAL). [cLOTHB.
before the English invasion in 1171. [From the best opinion
I can form on this disputed subject, I conclude the Irish
round towers to have been raised by the Ostmen, on their
conversion to Christianity, about 900.]
" When the old retreat of the cave became of less consequence,
from the change of manners, the safety of the inhabitants was
equally consulted about 1200, by the erection of several strong
and insulated castles, as seems to have been the case in all the
old Irish towns of much note, to which the inmates of the neigh-
bouring caverns retired in times of danger, at once receiving
and giving protection. One of these castles was, as we have
Been, at the south-east angle of the square, formed by the meet-
ing of the four streets ; a second stood in Garryo wen-lane, ou
the north side of the road ; and another somewhat to the east
of the present see house: these buildings were probably raised
by the Powers, or Fitzgeralds, most likely by the latter, who
possessed almost the whole barony of Imokilly, first when newly
settled in the country as a defence against the savage natives,
and afterwards, when assimilated to them in manners and
religion, as a protection to them. The advantage of the com-
mons at a still later era operated as a cause of increase to the
population, so that even at present, though exceeded in splen-
dour of buildings and many other advantages by the neighbour-
ing towns of Middleton and Castlcniartyr, it is not considerably
below them in number, which by a tolerably accurate compu-
tation, in 1800, amounted to more than 1,600 souls. [The in-
habited houses were as follows : — Church-lane, 75 ; Roch-lane,
35 ; River-lane, 62 ; Spital-lane, 136. By a later and more
accurate enumeration taken on oath in 1813, the number of
inhabitants amounted to 2,020, the town then having 308 in-
habited houses, and at least 5^ persons to every house on an
average.] As there is no other market for the whole well-peopled
peninsula from Ballycotton to Rostillan, the influx of persons
on a market or fair day is very considerable indeed. The
ancient names of the neighbouring fields and ground speak
the savageness of the place in early times, Ejiockna Madreo
is the hill of the grey dog or wolf; Park Nadristrig, the field
of briers ; Monewraniskey, the meadow of the wild boars.
'' Of the hills that surround the town, that on the north is
Bohermore, or the great highway ; from a tradition that a road
passed over it from the sea on the south to that on the north
of the kingdom. The hill to the north-west is, as we have
said, Knockna Nadree, the hill of the Wolf, and to the north-
east is Courtoun, or the hill with the naked turn, which ex-
presses its present appearance with much precision."
The new organ, bought by the Chapter in 1813, cost £800.

to the amount of £1,928. [MS. T.C.D. F. 2. 17.]
Dean Rugg had issue (by his wife, Sarah, relict of
Smith), two sons, John, P. Kilmacdonogh, q. v.; and Thomas,
who was a Vicar Choral of Cloyne, in 1663.

In 1672, May 30, he took the chapter oath; and in 1678,
January 9, was (with three others), chosen Guardian of the
Spiritualities, on the death of Edward, Bishop of Cork, Cloyne,
and Ross. [C.B.] Ho was attainted by James II. in 1689.
William Fitzgerald was the eldest son of John Fitzgerald,
who was Dean of Cork from 1628 to 1641. Dean John Fitz-
gerald could not, however, have died in 1641, as I have stated
on the authority of Cotton. On referring to Lodge (edition of
1754, vol. i., page 73), I find that ho states that the Dean's
%v}fe died in Bristol, in 1641. The matriculation book of T.C.D.
states that William and John, the first and the second sons re-
spectively of " Gerald, decani Corcag.," were born in Cork, and
entered as Pensioners on 22nd June, 1660, being aged, the elder
nineteen, the younger seventeen years. They must, if this
entry of their matriculation be correct, have been sons of Dean
John Fitzgerald, by a second wife.
W. Fitzgerald was from 1661 to 1669, P. Kilmacdonogh;
and from 1669 to 1691, P. Tipper, Dublin. He was also, from
1663 to 1671, V. Clondrohid; and from 1671 to 1691, Dean of
Cloyne, R. Ardagh and Clonpriest; and from 1675 to 1692,
Archdeacon of Ross, and R. V. Clondrohid.
From 1691 to his death in 1722 he was Bishop of Clonfert.
" William Fitzgerald, d.d.. Dean of Cloyne," married, in 1688,
Letitia Cole, of Dublin, spinster. [Dublin Marriage Licence, 1st
July.] The Dean married, also, Mary, relict of Boyle May-
nard, esq., and second daughter of Sir Heney Tynte, by Ma-
bella, dau. of Sir Percy Smith, of Ballynatray. By her the
Dean had no issue, but whether she was his first or second wife
I cannot say.

1695. August 2. Dean Scardeville was instituted. [D.B.]
He took the chapter outb on 8th August [Chapter Book.]
Dean Scardeville gave to Cloyne Cathedral one large silver
ohalice and a paten. [D.R.]
Henry Scanieville (bom at Salisbury, and educated at Rep-
ton), entered T.C.D. when nineteen years old, on 24th April,
1673, and graduated afterwards b.d.
He was Chaplain to Field Marslial the Duke of Schombebo.
From 1681 to 1685 he was R. Cloghran, Swords, Dublin; from
1682 to 1703, P. Swords, Dublin; from 1691 to 17C3, Dean of
Cloyne, and V. Clondrohid; and from 1693 to his death in 1703
he was Archdeacon of Ross.
The family history of Di>an Scardeville is best told by the
inscriptions on a mural tablet, and on a tombstone in the
chancel of Swords Church, copies of which were kindly fur-
nished by Rev. Thomas Twigg, the Incumbent.
" Here lyeth ye body of ye Rev. Henry Scardevile, Dean of
Cloyn, Archdeacon of Rosse, Prebendary and Vicar of Swords,
who departed this life ye 3rd of February, 1703; together with
ye body of his first wife, Mary, ye daughter of the Hon. Colonel
Guy Molesworth, of London, [The Dean was married in
December, 1682, M. L. Dublin.]" who died in childbed, and
left no issue. He also married Margrety, daughter of Robert
Culliford, of Encoomb, in the county of Dorsetshire, esq., who
lies interred at Thistleworth, in Middlesex, by whom he had
issue a son and a daughter, viz., Frederick Maynbard, and
Elisabeth.
"Here also lieth the body of Elisabeth Scardevile, his
daughter, who departed this life the 4th day of May, 1704."
Dean Scardeville is said to have repaired the old round tower
at Swords. He left, bv will, £100 for teaching the Protestant
children of Swords, which bequest seems never to have been
paid. His executor, Mr. John Scardeville, was sued for it by
direction of the Swords Vestry, in 1731, and he appears to have
handed over in lieu thereof a lease M^hich he held from the
Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's, of the tithes of the parish
of Killeek. That lease was afterwards made over to the Curate
of Swords, Rev. Alexander Eustace; and the parish of Swords
has had no benefit from the bequest of Dean Scardeville since
the year 1774.

Hodder and Barbara, his wife, to ye church of Gortroe, in ye

Archdeacon Meade was descended from the ancient Irish
family of Myaghe, or Meagh. In 1559 John Meade was m.p.
for Cork city, and his son and heir, John Meade, of Ballintob-
ber, was m.p. for the same city in 1585. The son of the last-
named, John, was Sir John Meade, knt. of Ballintobber, who,
by his wife, Catherine, dau. of Sir Dominick Sarsfield, the first
Viscount Eilmallock, had issue an only son, William Meade,
who was a Lieut-Colonel in the Army, and raised a troop of
horse for Charles II. in 1666. This Colonel William Meade,
by Elisabeth, dau. of Sir Robert Travers and Elisabeth Boyle,
dau. of the Archbishop of Tuam, had four sons, of whom the
first was John, created a baronet in 1703, who was ancestor of
the Earls of Clanwilliam, and the fourth son was Dominick,
Archdeacon of Cloyne.
Dominick was born at BaU in tobber, circa 1661, and, when nine-
teen years old, entered T.C.D., on 13th June, 1680; and, having
graduated, was, on 19th Dec, 1686, ordained a Deacon at Cork.
From 1686 to 1692 he was R. Rathcony, Cork; and from
1687 to his death in 1729 or 1730 was Archdeacon of Cloyne.
He married Mary, dau. of Francis Smjrth, of Rathconrsey, by
Maria, dau. of Beverly Usher. [Cork M. R of 9th Sept., 1695.]
He also married, according to family papers, Margaret, dau. of
Mathew, fifth Lord Louth, and relict of Sir Christopher Aylmer.
A chalice now in Ballymartle Church has this legend: — '^Ex

The Archdeacon had issue three sons — Richard, whose son,
Sib Richard, m.p. for Cork county in 1776, died Sp.; John,

KANTURK, P. C.
In Kanturk, formerly a village in the parish of Clonfert, there
seems to have been some place of worship in 1772, where ^he
Curate of Clonfert used to preach about one Sunday in four. Be-
tween 1794 and 1798, during the incumbency of Richard Wood-
ward, the Bishop's son, at Clonfert, a chapel was erected in
Kanturk, on a site granted by the Earl of Eomomt, a little below
the confluence of the rivers Alio and Dallua. The Earl gave,also,
£50 towards the building ; and William Allen, esq., of Green-
field, to whose zeal and attention the completion of the church
may in a great measure be ascribed, erected in it a handsome

gallery at his own expense. In 1805, Oct. 11, the Rev. George
May bury seems to have been licensed to the caraoy of Kanturk
by the Vicar of Clonfert, and at the Clonfert vestries of that
period a parish clerk, <fec., fur Kanturk was regularly appointed.
In 1808, howeyer, Mr. Hewitt, the Vicar of Clonfert, took steps
to have Kanturk made a perpetual cure, and in 1809 it was
accordingly formed into a chapel ry or parish, as it is at present
1809. Robert Bullek is Curate.
1809. .July 12. The Bishop of Cloyne, and Francis Hewitt,
V. Clonfert, sign the deed for erecting Kanturk into a perpetual
cure, under the Act 11 and 12 George L The Bishop assigns
to the Cure of the church or chapel of Kanturk the toUowing
townlands : — '' Kanturk, G^radeen, Curragh, Mylihiragh, Roa-
line, Coolevotas, Kilnockin, Knockelly, Knockshehy, Knock*
shesane, Gooseberry-hill, Carrigcashel, Barleyhill, Lismire^
Duarrigle, Callaghan's Rosacon, Callaghan*s lasm^cummin,
Murphy's Lisniealcummin, Two Clontimacades, Greenfield,
Gortnaconroe, and Gortnascreggy, which several townlands
shall belong to the Cure of the church or chapel of ease so
erected in the town of Kanturk as aforesaid, which shall here-
after be one parish, to be called and known by the name of the
parish or chapelry of Kanturk, and shall be deemed and reputed
to be one entire parish, for the purposes in the said Act
mentioned, saving, nevertheless, to the said Francis Hewitt
and his successors, Vicars of Clonfert, otherwise Trinity Christ
Church, Newmarket, all his and their rights as Vicars of said
parish of Clonfert ** At this time the Vicar of Clonfert allocated
for the stipend of the Curate the tithes of two farms, called
Coulacousane and Curragh, amounting to £54 per an. The
Board of First Fruits gave an equal sum, and also gave £450
to fine down the rent of 10 plantation acres for a glebe, and
an additional £450 for a house. This (says Mr. Hewitt, in his
account of Clonfert, preserved in manuscript by his son), makes
it one of the best curacies in the diocese, and the Bishop allows
the Curate to perform the occasional duties of Tullilease, a non*
cure, for which service £10 per an. is allowed. This provision
for the Curate is, every way, worth £150 per an. The Earl of
Egmont allows annually £30 to Mr. Bullen, as schoolmaster at
Kanturk. [D.R. and Hewitt MSS.]
N.B. — The townlands above mentioned as comprising the
district of the perpetual curacy, are identical with those selected
on 15th June, 1807, by the parishioners of Clonfert, "for
paying the clerk and sexton of Kanturk, and for keeping the
chapel in repair, in order that said chapel of ease may be made
a perpetual cure." [Clonfert Vestry Book.]

It has been inadvertently stated at pases 109 and 153 of
Cork, that Richard Ashe, r. EillaspagmuDane, and V. Holy
Trinity, was also B. Killeagh. The error arose from the ah-
sence of any Christian name in the Visitation Book of 1661.
I give here the information concerning Richard Ashe, which
was omitted in the Cork Becords.
Bichard Ashe, a.b., was ordained Deacon by John, Bishop of

death in 1701 he was V. Inchinabacky, Clonmult, Dingindon-

He was married. ** Dorothy, ye wife of Mr. James Spencer,

I venture no remark as to tlie relationship of this James
Spencer to Edmund, the poet But I will here give some very
brief notes of the Spencer family, which may be of interest.
I find Henry Spencer was ordained Priest by the Bishop of
Ardfert on 18th March, 1663. He was V. Drehidtarsna, in
Limerick. Perhaps he is the same person who was buried in
Cork, in 1646. Vide Holy Trinity Vicarage, Cork, page 110
of vol. i.
Edmund Spencer, the poet, died in 1599. In 1600 Sib
Gerald Aylmer and Sir William Sarsfield grant a deed of
feofiment on 20th August, of 11. Athnowen, Rennybrough, R.
Kilbride, Kilbrogane, Kilmainane, Agneholtie, <S:c., parcels of
the Abbey of Grany, in Munster, to the use of Roger Seeker-
ton and his wife (the poet's relict), with rem' to Peregrine
Spencer, in tail male, with rem' to Roger Spencer and wife, with
rem' to the right heirs of Edmund Spencer for ever. [Fer-
guson's MSS. I. 74.]
The eldest son of the poet, by his wife, Elisabeth, was Syl-
VANUS Spencer. He married Ellinor, dau. of David Nagle, of
Monanimy, by Ellen, dau. of William Roche, of Ballyhooly.
He had two sons, Edmund, who died Sp., and William, who
was heir to his brother, and recovered the estates of Kilcol-
man, and also, in 1697, of Renny. This William had, by his
wife, Barbara, a daughter, Susannah, and a son, Nathaniel, who
was of Renny, and died, having had, by his wife, Rosamund
Bulkeley, a daughter, Barbara, and three (^ous, Edmund, Na-
thaniel, and John. Edmund, the last-named, was born 25th
Nov., 1711, and married in 1736, Anne, dau. of John Freeman,
esq., of Ballinguile.
The second son of the poet was Laurence Spencer, whose
will was dated in 1653, and proved in 1654, at Cloyne. In it
he is styled " Laurence Spencer, of Camden Bridge, Youghal."
This will (I am told by the Registrar of Cloyne) is very brief.
The testator bequeathes feather beds, and a few legacies of
20 shillings each, to persons whose names seem to be Morton
and Bathurst.

The poet*s third son was Pbbegbinb. He married Dorothy
Morres, or Maurice [Book of Orders of CromweH's Court of
Claims, 1654 to 1655, pp. 213-18], and had from his brother
the lands of Renny. He, in 1634, had also the impropriate
rectory of Athnowen, Cork, and of Brinny, He was father of
HuQOLiNUS Spencer, who married Ellinor, widow of William
Roche, of Ballymaclauraco, county Cork, and became a Roman
Catholic, and was outlawed. He was possessed of the impro-
priate rectories of Brinny and Athnowen, and appeared for
them in the Visitation Books in 1694. His property was
granted to William Spencer, his cousin, "as next Protestant
heir." The only child of Ilugolino Spencer was Dorothy, who
was wife of Pierce Power, and bore to him three sons — Hugo-

Mr. Carson seems, from the following letter addressed to
him by Bishop Bennct, to have required a faculty to hold
Clondulane and Kilmahon together. His opinion seems to have
been highly valued by his Lordship on other matters. This
letter of the Bishop is now in the possession of Mr. Carson's
descendant, the Dean of Kilmore. It is dated from Dublin,
17 th March, 1800.
" Deab Cabson,
" The expense of a ^ulty is very serious, and the danger
of objecting to the title by which you hold your present parishes
not imminent at present, so that I am inclined to advise you
to wait till you think you have more pressing necessity.
" The questitms you ask depending on the union, and the
wording of the Act of Union itself, make it impossible at pre-
sent to give a precise answer to them ; but I apprehend the
Irish laws previous to the union will still bind the Irish Church,
unless expressly repealed by the Imperial Parliament. The
nature of the connexion in the clerical line is now before Sir
Wm. Scot to give his opinion on it.
" In order to answer the latter part of your letter, which I
fear I cannot do exactly to your wishes, I must, in perfect
dependence on your secrecy and honour, enter more than I am
apt to do into the plan I have of disposing of Dr. Atterburys
preferments, in case it should be my lot to outlrre him.
'* My intention has been to separate the Chantership from
tSO khjuhov. [clothb.
tiie great union of Clonmell ; to settle Austin in the latter, and
Hingston in the former ; in which cajse the plan yon mention
of uniting Eilmahon, Ohurchtown, and Bohillane, might in time
take effect ; but of late Mr. Mapletoft seems to have wished to
give up Castletown for Atterbury's preferment, and then no
separation would take place.
'' But though either of these schemes shuts the door to your
advancement, there are other passages equally broad left open.
Dr. King's living was valued in 1796, at upwards of £900; and as
that preferment would be more than equivalent for both yours,
it would probably be a great object to you. Circumstances
make me wish at present for two livings, such as you now
hold, to dispose of; and though I would not be understood to
make an actual promise, the chance of King's living furnishes
an additional reason for you not to be too hasty in applying
for a faculty to hold your present parishes.
" I feel happy in the gratitude you express for such services
as I have been able to render you ; and shall I confess also
that I have always thought myself obliged by your expressing
your dislike to my leaving the country in 1796? I wish we
had talked over the reasons for and against it : there were
many on both sides, and I knew too much of the state of the
. country for my own comfort — the same knowledge of which
poor Dodge, so fotally for himself, partook with me. So apt,
however, is the world to Judge by the event, that the same
mouths which were opened against me for quitting my diocese
in 1796 were extended to the full as wide against Bishop
Stock for not quitting his when the same enemy came in
1798. The Primate too, in 1798, followed my example in
quitting Armagh at the first report of a landing, as did poor
Stock and his whole family on the second appearance of the
French frigates in the bay of Killalla. They knew by expe-
rience to what dreadful distress they exposed themselves. I
knew it by anticipation. Besides, all my money was at Dub-
lin, and I had a very numerous family to feed, who were to
have left the country ten days after. I thought at the time
that all travelling would soon become impracticable, as it did
in 1798, and that as it was determined to give up the county
of Cork to the enemy, it was better for me to prevent the
misery of so terrible a retreat, and that ten days sooner or
later made no difference. Providence saved us ; and therefore
the world in general blamed me. I have even myself since
thought I was too precipitate ; but I doubt whether I should
have thought so at the moment of danger. At any rate it was
kind of you to suggest your doubts, and I have endeavoured to
be grateful for the advice.
" 1 am, dear Sir, yours very truly,
" Wm. Cloyne."
